Welcome to another thrilling episode of Blerd Radio! In this episode, Big Money is joined by Demick, from the Fantasy Bookies site and podcast. Of course, there is nothing about fantasy bookmaking discussed. Hell, there's barely anything about sports discussed. But you will find out...

*The origins of the name "Demick," as well as the names that Demick uses whenever he has to reserve a table at a restaurant (or at Panera Bread.)

*The greatness of the actor we all know and love as "Leon."

*Television programming; more specifically the OWN Network, which just debuted a LaToya Jackson reality show.

*Is Michelle Obama the new Oprah?

*What the hell is The Wobble?

*Living Colour at Wrestlemania (the podcast begins with a few seconds of "I Want To Know," which can be found on their debut album Vivid.

We also discuss in detail each of the albums that made the top 10 on our list. I attempted to mix in a portion of a song from each album into the podcast, but that pursuit quickly became futile. So, sorry everyone.

Big Money, Dr. Gonzo, Mike D., and Michael P. discuss the evolution of the greatest hits album. What started them? Why are they popular? Which artists are best served by compilations? Which artists will never release a greatest hits album? Which artists have too many greatest hits albums?

Along the way, several tangents are explored, including:

One of us has smoked too much pot in his life to only own one Bob Marley album.

For all our freestyle fanatics, Stevie B. gets a shout out!

Anyone else know that U.K. band Squeeze re-recorded all their hit singles a few years ago?

Does anyone know that more recently, Toad the Wet Sprocket re-recorded all of their hit singles (plus a few key album tracks.)

Aunt Bunny fell down the steps!

Mike D. does a pretty good Billy Joel (speaking, not singing) impression.

The gorilla from the Rolling Stones "GRRRR" album has a name. And a twitter.

As we do every now and then, the Blerd Radio podcast hoops it up. This basketball-centric episode is co-hosted by Big Money, GG and Jay from the NY Knicks Podcast. We celebrate the mid-point of the 2012-2013 NBA season and All-Star weekend by giving midseason assessments of our favorite (and least-favorite teams,) predicting who will make it to the NBA finals, and reminiscing about All-Star weekends of years past.

In addition: the first mom joke of 2013 occurs barely two minutes into the show, Duquette makes a slightly awkward Foghat reference when discussing the "Idol" co-hosts, Parr brings up the much-beloved show "Cheaters," our friend IrishJava gets shouted out, several bad jokes about Naughty by Nature are made, we coin the term "pullin' a Roker," and Duquette-in a frighteningly prescient moment-calls a Fall Out Boy reunion less than 24 hours before it was actually announced.

Yes, folks, it's the inevitable Holiday edition of the Blerd Radio podcast. Big Money is joined by staff members Mike Duquette, Michael Parr and Zack (Gonzo) Stiegler to spread holiday cheer throughout this great nation of ours by discussing all that's glorious and bright in pop culture. In this episode, we discuss favorite holiday songs, gift recommendations (SOCKS!!) and the real meaning of Christmas, but we also express confusion at the recent John Travolta/Olivia Newton-John reunion. As far as non-holiday stuff, topics of discussion include the recently released iTunes 11, and the best music of 2012. Much like Jimmy Fallon and Horatio Sanz, we do a lot of laughing at our own jokes, but unlike Fallon and Sanz, we're actually funny. Ho ho ho!!!!!

For the latest episode of Blerd Radio, Big Money is joined by occasional co-host GG, as well as Jay and Marc who co-host the New York Knicks podcast (www.thenewyorkknckspodcast.com.) Marc is forced to join the podcast via cell phone, which results in worse audio quality but no difference in piss and vinegar than if he was live. We discuss the worst NBA team names in history (inspired by the New Orleans Pelicans,) and the Knicks podcasters waste no time talking junk about the Brooklyn Nets. We also pay tribute to the basketball genius of Rasheed Wallace, wish Larry Bird a happy birthday, talk about the Kobe Assist statistic, and of course, we talk at length about our beloved (well, 75% beloved) Knickerbockers. Hell, there's even a Waiting for Godot reference!!
